Reviews of The Carrington Arms describe a rural pub-hotel with comfortable, well-equipped chalet-style rooms and standout dining, especially steaks and cooked breakfasts, plus friendly, helpful staff and easy parking, offering good value for business stopovers and short breaks.
The location is handy for Milton Keynes, Cranfield and the M1 while feeling quiet and safe. Some guests noted occasional slow or inconsistent breakfast or check-in service, and bar hours can be limited. A few mentioned room comfort or noise quirks such as thin walls, warm rooms without air-con, or mixed pillow and mattress comfort, and several found food and drinks pricey or steak-by-weight pricing unclear. It suits travellers seeking a reliable stopover with character.

Booked the field view room and was not disappointed, very nice, spacious and clean. Seating area outside room was perfect to relax in the sun with a pre dinner drink, ate in the restaurant and was extremely satisfied with the food and service, will be going back to the Carrington in the very near future.

Very nice hotel (a listed building with loads of character) in a rural setting - pleasant bar/restaurant area and very appealing modern garden room at the rear, where we dined on each of our three evenings. We were there in a bit of a heatwave so the opening roof and high-tech ventilation were welcome - the only downside was the smell of cigarette smoke drifting in from outside but there's not really a lot that can be done about that. The room was excellent - they're sort-of chalet style, relatively new so very modern with great facilities (even a fridge in the room, which you seldom see in the UK) and spotlessly clean. The food was also excellent (and not unreasonably priced), and so were the staff.

Very nice, clean, well-appointed room and modern bathroom with a shower over bath and big, soft towels. The mattress was firm but very comfortable and I slept well. Although I grew up nearby and visit the area often, it's been many years since I last dined at The Carrington Arms, so I took the opportunity to have dinner there and wasn't disappointed! It's well known locally as being an excellent restaurant and its reputation is well deserved. I also booked breakfast, which is served in the restaurant. The breakfast menu has a good choice of cooked options with a hot drink and fruit juice too, and there are extras available for a charge. I had eggs benedict which was perfectly cooked and presented. The staff were friendly and the service was good and very quick from check in to check out. Overall a very nice stay and all for a reasonable price.

Food was excellent, especially the steak. Service was friendly. Parking very easy. Drinks were possibly a bit overpriced. Room was nice except for only one bedside table for a double bed which was odd. The room also seemed to have a connecting door to another room which would bang whenever doors elsewhere were opened. Walls seemed very thin, you could actually hear conversations on other rooms.

Great rooms, but it was a bit of a nightmare to find due to local road works. The food is great, staff are extra polite and very helpful. One thing I wasn’t aware of was the need for ID, as this wasn’t expected on hotels.com. It’s on the website apparently, but it’s not exactly something you check before you travel is it? Anyway, they accepted a photo of my driving license, as I didn’t have it in me.

We took a group here for an overnight stay 08/22 and all was good, everyone enjoyed their stay and said they would happily return. We returned 08/23 and one or two of our party had cause to complain about check in, muddled rooms, being interrupted during dinner to make payments etc. However, we felt confident in being able to stay again this year, sadly, all were disappointed this time around and we will seek alternative accommodation next year. On our first evening we were hemmed into the bay window area for our pre booked meal and the restaurant was incredibly smoky from the kitchen, food was nice, second evening we opted to eat elsewhere locally. We think "shrink-flation" has effected the breakfasts too. We were surprised upon checking out at reception to be asked to pay extra for a second cup of coffee and an extra slice of toast. When queried with the owner he agreed there should have been 2 slices with whatever I had not just 1 and he took the £1.20 or so off our bill. He made a point of telling us that we had already had a bargain breakfast price (we prebooked and I could show the screenshot of the agreed price) so I'm not sure why he felt the need to bring this up in public and make us feel uncomfortable. Our other friends had been charged for an extra coffee with his breakfast, despite not having fruit juice on either morning, and the owner wouldn't budge because he told them he wasn't making as much profit as before! Our bathroom had a leaky toilet pipe.

We would recommend the Carrington Arms – especially at the price of the room, which was extremely reasonable and overall, we enjoyed our stay, with a couple of tiny niggles… Check-in took a wee while, as the reception area was the bar and we had to wait for a few customers to be served before finally being noticed, welcomed and given the key to our room. After a long drive, I was anxious to dump our bags, freshen up and have a nightcap myself. It was worth the wait, though. The room was spacious, clean and bright, with a well-appointed bathroom and good storage. The bed was comfortable and we slept well, although the red light from the TV and a blue light from something else was a little distracting at first. Breakfast was first class and the service friendly and efficient, which swept away any reservations we may have had regarding the delayed check-in and slightly annoying light-show (which we may have been able to do something about if we hadn't been so plumb tuckered.) Anyway, I'm hoping we can find an excuse to go back some time (maybe with sleeping masks).

Dining
Food is a major highlight, especially steaks and cooked-to-order breakfasts, and many recommend dining here. Some found prices high or steak-by-weight pricing unclear, and there were occasional waits or limited times for breakfast or room service.

Spot on. Love staying here. We don’t live too far away but a decent meal and then breakfast the day after when the rest I’m rate is cheap is worth staying over for. Go for the steak it’s awsome

We had a great stay at this lovely pub and it was amazing value for money. We had dinner in the evening and the food was delicious. There 9 of us and the service was friendly and attentive. Our room was very clean and comfortable with an amazing range of coffee!!! The breakfast menu was varied and the food once again was fresh, made to order and delicious. Would definitely recommend this place.

Positives..Good location, good sized room & facilities, Well priced per night including breakfast, plenty of free parking. Negatives.. the only negative of the stay was the breakfast in the morning which in our opinion could be much improved by replacing the smoked bacon and herb chipolatas with unsmoked bacon and good quality pork sausages, good old Full English breakfast will suffice don’t mess with it.

Stayed at The Carrington Arms on numerous occasions and the accommodation is clean comfortable and good value for money. What’s not good value for money is the Restaurant and drinks service. They have a steak menu that’s charged by the once, you’re are invited to choose your cut of steak and it is butchered in front of you then weighed and you are offered other items to accompany your choice. The catch is that you’re not given a price when selecting your choice. I’m not sure if £44.85 for a 12/13 once Sirloin and £6.95 for the trimmings is fair. With this in mind be sure to validate the price of the steak before you order. Also the drinks are overpriced. Next time I will eat elsewhere.

This is a lovely place that with a few tweaks could be so much more. The bar very frustratingly shuts at 9.45 and the service can be quite slow. Breakfast is excellent but it again would benefit from being open earlier than the7.30 in the week and 8am at the weekend

I stayed for one night and it was lovely, the room is great and so convenient being carpark facing. I did want to order food to the room but the orders had been halted which was a shame, but plenty places to eat within a short drive. Staff were very polite and helpful, easy stay.

We try to visit at least once per year for the steak counter which is always amazing. Not sure whether the venue has changed hands but the staff were not as friendly and accommodating as usual. Food was still amazing.

Room was great and the location is lovely. However, I had a bath and the plug didn’t work so whilst I was having my bath the water started to drain. There was also biscuits left in the room but these were over a monthly out of date. Breakfast was my biggest frustration. It was cool to order so I thought it would be accommodating. Cooked breakfasts or pancakes were the only options so I asked for scrambled egg whites on toast with some bacon. I was told this wouldn’t be possibly so ended up with a close of toast and 2 pieces of bacon. Given I could see the chef from where I was, I was disappointed they weren’t even asked about my request. I emailed in and received a response saying my request should have been accepted, however I didn’t receive any refund or compensation so I spent £11 on 2 pieces of bacon and a slice of toast. Disappointing as I had such high hopes and it could have been the best hotel yet.

Everything about my stay was perfect. Really happy with it. Fan was quite bit loud but that's the only thing I can complain about and that's being picky. Would 100% go back again.
